Granex are sweet and don't keep well. Travel under a lot of names--Videlias are Granex grown in Videlia, Ga. But I also get granex in the stores here that are grown in Mexico and Peru. Aside from the Italian red torpedoes I grow, they are the only ones I eat.

Try these--they are terrific--you can eat them when they are young and when they are mature.

Well on my onion search I purchased some seeds for next fall.
What I got was. Texas Grano, Short day. Red Burgundy, Short day. Sweet Spanish Yellow Utah Jumbo, Long day I read on garden web that they got huge at the same latitude as Mexico city but refused to seed. Granex Yellow, Short day. I got 4 packages of seeds each. This will be my first time growing onions from seeds and am looking forward to the experience. I also have a nice plot of space in the back that would be perfect to grow even more onions and shallots. It was a garden at one time and I let it lay fallow for a few years. The soil is unbelievably rich and would be a great place for onions. The plan is to set my tiller on shallow cultivate and just skim off the top. Skip a path and do it again. Plant my onions put out the drip lines and mulch. The radishes I grew there were very good and mild so the onions should be the same. Worth |
